Ha playback across Redundant recorders integrated into the Smart Client
Overview
The Playback Switching feature in RMF enables Milestone Smart Client users to access recorded video from a secondary site if the primary recording site is unavailable, without altering their interaction with the system.
RMF's Smart Client features are only available in the Single Site or Federated modes of operation. Use a PSIM that integrates with the RMF API to achieve this functionality in the Independent mode of operation.
How it Works
RMF monitors recording availability across both primary and secondary Milestone XProtect sites.
When a user requests playback from a camera recorded on the primary site, but that site is offline, or if it does not contain recorded footage for the requested timestamp, requested:
RMF automatically reroutes the playback request to the redundant recording on the secondary site.
This process occurs transparently for the user—same Smart Client, same camera, uninterrupted access.
